Polka Dot Frenzy!
Love.Love.Love anything ‘dotty’, so when I saw that the Lawnscaping Challenge was having a Polka Dot Frenzy Challenge, I lept in… spots and all! AND then I made a totally different card… I didn’t like the first one, so now here…

Sweet Birthday!
The Tuesday Trigger this week was Royally Sweet! I couldn’t resist repeating the swirl pattern that was iced onto the cake, it looks sooo yummy! I also sat down to have a ‘nice cuppa tea’ while I made the card. When…
Bee Happy!
I decided to combine these two challenges in the one post as the cards I made are very similar. I was playing with the May ‘freebie’, yes you heard me right, it was a free digi image from Paper Smooches & just…
Just because it’s ‘In Bloom’
The team from The Play Date Cafe have created yet another fantasmagorical challenge, dontcha just adore this colour inspiration!! I used my ‘new‘ Memento Dew Drops colours (12 glorious colours in one handy pack), it’s great not to be limited…
CAS-ual Friday… on Sunday?
Don’t you LOVE to find a new challenge site! Ooooh and it’s one sooo suited to me and my ‘default‘ CAS style. It’s called CAS-ual Fridays and this week it’s buttons & twine… so I got out the biggest brightest button I could find…
Skirting the Issue!
I just adore Cath’s Tuesday Trigger this week, Skirting the Issue. I decided to focus on the colours and for some reason I didn’t want too many layers on the card either. I am also enjoying colouring with pencils at the…
Sweet Sundaes!
Can I tell you something funny? The other day I was sitting at my desk making cards (yes, I know that’s hard to believe!) and my husband was sitting talking to me and says with a most serious face “haven’t…
It’s a boy!
I’ve been thinking about ’tissue paper’ for a while now… well at least since Moxie Fab put out a new challenge. It’s called the Tissue Paper Magic Challenge in the Moxie Fab World! I was wondering what I could do &…
In my thoughts
I have been struggling a little with ‘finishing’ a card at the moment. I have these grandiose ideas & get half way through… then stop. What’s that word again? That’s right it’s mojo. And what better way to get back…
On your Shower
I am sooo excited my Lawn Fawn stamps finally arrived! (thank you long week-end) What perfect timing, I am going to a baby shower tomorrow… so they have already seen ink! I was inspired by the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger & there…
CSC36 – Enjoy the Ride!
It’s raining here today on our Easter Monday Tuesday (I know it’s confusing but in Australia this year our Public holidays clashed and added up to a 5 day weekend… it’s a long story). Anyway I was hoping to get…
Using up scraps…
I embraced the current Embellish Magazine Crochet Trim Color Trends Challenge, that is, I drove down the street to buy some crochet trim only to come home and change my mind to use the one that I already had… work…
An Easter Card for… Easter!
So guess who doesn’t own any Easter stamps? It’s funny that I didn’t realise this until I started making an easter card for the current Scrapbook Boutique and Copic Oz challenges. Anyway I made do with what I have and enjoyed a little paper…
Calling all Critters!
I’m soooo excited, I have my first set of Lawn Fawn stamps on the way to my door! But I couldn’t wait til they came to join the current Lawnscaping Challenge – Calling all Critters. The inspiration cards were…
A Sympathetic Mother’s Day?
So I sat down to make some Mother’s Day cards and I don’t know where I went wrong… but I ended up with a Sympathy Card. And although I like it maybe I shouldn’t send it instead of a Mother’s…
Did you miss me?
I’ve been on holidays & WOW was it some fun! But now I am back & boy do I have some wonderful blogs to catch up on. I will be sharing some fabulous photos of my trip to Outback Australia after my post……
A Krafty Birthday!
So I know I am having a problem at the moment keeping Kraft cardstock away from my cards… but I just love it! It’s probably because I don’t have to think, it just goes with everything. So here it is…
Here kitty kitty…
I just LOVE holidays… I have spent my whole day playing with stamps & paper, it couldn’t get any better than that! Especially when my husband is at work, there has been rain outside & the chickens are out running around…
My niece turns 20!
I’m officially old… I would swear that I was still 18, except that I have noticed now I have slowed down by at least 110% – I like to say that I am just more experienced in life and now…
Penny Farthing – Enjoy the Ride!
I know I’m leaving it a little late but I wanted to make sure that I joined in the current Embellish Magazine’s Masculine Color Trends Challenge, there are already so many fab cards I wasn’t sure where to start. Until…
